We still talk euphemistically:
Enhanced performance due to drugs,
Although there’s no more mystery
How out of nowhere someone slugs
A ton more homers than before.
A steroid makes the number soar.
At first the fans were scandalized
When Giant Barry Bonds got named.
They felt the sport was vandalized.
Cancesco made them more ashamed.
Four-fifths of major leaguers juiced?
He said so and some names produced.
Now Bonds awaits a jury’s call
On if he lied while under oath.
Ramirez (Manny) says that’s all.
To miss a hundred games he’s loath.
Suspended for the PED,
He well-nigh gleams in memory.
It’s sad if fans no longer care
When drug-enhancing plays a role
In any sport, and aren’t aware
That kids who big-league stars extol
Unwisely don’t put ’roids aside,
And sometimes die a suicide.
